Production visibility
Monitor machine states, produced quantities, downtime and orders in progress without waiting for end-of-shift handovers or next-day spreadsheets.
MES platform
An industrial MES platform to drive production execution
IBRIXIO connects machine data, shop floor events and operator entries to monitor production execution, qualify downtime, compute OEE, trace production batches, structure quality checks and generate reliable production reports.
Overview
A MES platform to monitor production execution in real time
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) manages production execution on the shop floor: machine states, orders in progress, downtime, production batches, quality checks and performance. IBRIXIO captures this data close to the equipment, structures it and delivers it through a centralized view shared by operations, maintenance, quality and plant management.
- Native machine data collection via OPC UA and Modbus TCP, with a local buffer on the industrial gateway.
- Standardized downtime reasons, traced production batches, structured quality checks and comparable OEE across lines.
- Operational alerts and production reports to align operations, maintenance and plant management.
Benefits
Three concrete levers for plant teams
Quality and traceability
Link production batches, production periods, machines and quality checks to retrieve the full batch history during an audit, recall or customer claim.
Structured shop floor data
Bring machine data, downtime reasons, alerts and reports into a single source of operational data to support reliable decisions and prepare further analytics on a sound basis.
What OEE makes visible
Concrete indicators tracked machine by machine
OEE is not an abstract promise. It is a set of operational indicators that plant teams can monitor and challenge.
- OEE per machine
- Availability
- Performance
- Quality
- Downtime duration
- Downtime reasons
- Production batches
- Scrap
- Daily reports
Modules
A complete and modular MES stack
Clear modules aligned with the day-to-day work of production, maintenance and quality teams.

Architecture
A resilient shop floor architecture, from PLC to decision
The IBRIXIO industrial gateway reads OPC UA and Modbus TCP data close to the machines. It keeps a local buffer in case of network outage and synchronizes events to the platform when connectivity is restored. The platform then structures machine states, production batches, downtime, OEE, quality checks, alerts and reports.

Frequently asked questions
What plant teams ask
What is a MES?
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) manages production execution on the shop floor. It connects machine data, structures downtime, production batches and quality checks, computes OEE and delivers reports to plant teams and management.
What is the difference between a MES and an ERP?
An ERP manages business processes (orders, stock, purchasing, finance). A MES manages production execution (machine data, downtime, OEE, batches, quality). The two systems are complementary and address different needs.
How does IBRIXIO connect to machines?
Through an industrial gateway installed close to the equipment. It reads PLCs via OPC UA or Modbus TCP, formats signals and synchronizes them to the platform over an authenticated channel.
What happens during a network outage?
The gateway's local buffer keeps collected data during the outage. Once connectivity is restored, data is automatically synchronized to the platform, with no loss.
Why monitor OEE?
OEE combines availability, performance and quality in a single comparable indicator. It surfaces hidden losses (micro-stops, slow downs, scrap) and supports objective comparison across lines, shifts and periods.
Why standardize downtime reasons?
An unplanned stop without a recorded reason cannot be analyzed. Capturing standardized reasons at the source (categories, sub-reasons) allows losses to be cumulated by cause and structural actions to be prioritized instead of reacting case by case.
Can we start on a single line?
Yes. Deployment is progressive: start on a representative pilot line, validate indicators with plant teams, then extend across the site step by step.
Who uses IBRIXIO?
Operators and production supervisors monitor production execution and declare downtime. Maintenance analyzes downtime causes and prioritizes interventions. Quality structures checks and prepares audits. Plant management drives OEE and overall performance.
